Truly worth every penny, yes the walk to the property may not be as enjoyable to everyone if you are carrying a lot of luggage but don’t think twice if you can walk 100 to 150 mts. Absolutely loved the view and the cute old couple who are the host are very sweet

Peaceful place away from the noise, yet only 10 minutes from the center and 5 from the train station. The family is very kind and respectful, and we slept really well, even with a blanket at night because it was pleasantly cool. Great hospitality with tea and cookies, always with a smile😊. We’re glad we chose this homestay instead of another type of accommodation, as Ella itself is very touristy. And the family were super kind!

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
